grass manual translation

[Marco Curreli]

Hi,

I belong to a team for translating the grass64 manual in Italian.

Looking forward to define the technical aspects in order to insert
the manual pages in the code, we have decided to start translating
the description.html files. We have choose to use this list to
coordinate the work in progress.

If nobody is going to translate it yet, I'll initiate to translate
the following commands: r.average, r.category, r.reclass

I think to put the whole content of the translation on this list,
when it's finished, for a collective revision. It's a good idea?

Best regards,
          Marco

good idea - how can I join the translation team?
This initiative can be of interest of GFOSS.it community, a note on wiki can
bring more people on this task [0].
If it is on some use, there is also a partial translation of GRASS 6.0 manual
on GFOSS.it wiki [1].

Yes - a further hint: why don't we rank translations for example giving
precedence to most used commands?

IMHO using wiki would be less flooding - anyway this is a low traffic list.

Hi,
updating that wiki page is high on the priority list. We have agreed to
the workflow explained by Marco also with Markus. At this point, using
the wiki to translate is a bit overkill because it's extremely difficult
to extract translations from it and send them upstream. Each HTML page
is quite short so we shouldn't end up with incomplete pages - at least I
hope!

The wiki could still be useful to maintain a list of the translated man
pages.

I think that the best thing would be that each contributor ranks her/his
most used commands and starts from them. This way we should also get
higher quality translations :-)

So for the wiki page, the basic steps for the wanna-be contributor are:
     1. subscribe to this list
     2. look for an untranslated page
     3. translate it!
     4. send it here
     5. → 2

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers,
Steko

Right.

I have the idea for years meanwhile to generate usage statistics
automatically with the parser. Each command used is saved in
an ASCII file in the home directory. From that these statistics
could be done easily.
How 'bout this?

Markus

+1 for this.
The wiki page can also be used to lock a page and prevent others to duplicate
translation effort.

+1 for me. I can start browsing GFOSS wiki and send translated pages.
